KTR said, in the last seven and a half years, Telangana has been extremely successful in attracting lots of investments from the United States and Europe as well. Even in Covid pandemic times, the government of Telangana hopes to attract substantial investment. The make in India campaign which the Central government talks about is also very attractive to overseas investors. "Post-Covid world, it's very important from the organisational perspective to have different manufacturing locations as companies have started looking beyond China. Thus, India will be a very important destination for investment and I firmly believe that in India, there are few states that can compete on a global scale to attract these investments. Telangana certainly is on the top to compete- be it the availability of land, water, power or physical incentives or train, manpower or good connectivity to the rest of the world," the Minister said.
